A book launch is to be held for Neoliberalism, the Security State and the Quantification of Reality (Lexington Books, Rowman and Littlefield), the new book by Dr. David Lea, Professor in the AUS Department of International Studies.

Neoliberalism, the Security State and the Quantificationof Reality addresses the relation between the growing power and dominance of the securitystate and a neoliberal reality in which commercial and financial interestsincreasingly penetrate our social existence. This project includes discussions of neoliberalism, financialization andmanagerialism, focusing on specific issues such as the decline ofprofessionalism, the restructuring of tertiary education, and the university'sabandonment of the humanities. Additionally, the text explorers the  linkage between these developments and thefailings  of democratic institutions, thegrowth of the disciplinary society and the emergence of the security state.

A critical discussion of the work will be led by faculty member and philosopher Dr. Arianne Conty, Assistant Professor in the Department of International Studies.  Refreshments will be served.
